Hi guys, been real busy setting up and building the new 20 acre koi farm! We even have got a web site now, http://www.sarasotakoi.com/ And we were wondering if somebody wouldn't mind making me a banner for Sarasota Koi. I had someone do me one for the Name "Holy Koi" but the name was to faith based and people didn't like it. I forgot who made the other banner but they did great! WE are going to post some pictures of Some Japanese koi that we get out of quarantine this weekend.
Thanks everyone!
Rick

Don't know if this is going to change as the site is worked on, but right now, you have to scroll back and forth in order to be able to read a full line of text. That's irritating.

Let us know when you get more pics up. I'd like to look at some of the koi.

I don't have those problems

I did the banner here at American Ponders.
Please PM or email me with specifics on what you want on your banner.

Any favorite koi photos would be nice for reference too.

Rick, here's a little tip that my wife and I use when working on our websites. Be sure to have all possible browsers on your computer to test your website in as some browsers display differently than others (IE is well known for breaking artistic websites).

Does yours work ok?

Oooo - I like the farm photos. That's an impressive set up you have!

I still have to scroll horizontally to read the website, though.

Rick · « **Reply #11 on:** February 16, 2009, 12:22:05 PM »

Thanks! We are also going to expand with some quarantine tanks in the future.

I'll try to whip something up at work today too.
Been sidetracked by another wicked headcold which we all shared AGAIN,

and then my daughters 13th birthday and a 13 year old sleepover party.

Thanks Everybody!!!

Rick,
The banner is just an image.
For it to become a clickable link, there has to be some html data linked to it.
I can easily generate the data through Photoshop but in say a forum, it would not normally show up.

Code: [Select]

<html>
<head>
<title>Sarasota Koi</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<!-- ImageReady Slices (Sarasota Koi.psd) -->
<a href="http://www.sarasotakoi.com/"
	onmouseover="window.status='Sarasota Koi';  return true;"
	onmouseout="window.status='';  return true;">
	<img src="images/Sarasota-Koi.jpg" width="800" height="240" border="0" alt="Sarasota Koi"></a>
<!-- End ImageReady Slices -->
</body>
</html>

Once you uploaded it to your server, then you could probably create a link to it with text as follows...

http://www.internationalwaterlilycollection.com

But for it to be an image put on a page or forum, it would have to have some html data attached to make the jpeg a dynamic link.
Oh by the way, the code above will not work on the images I put up as it directs to another test image of a different size.

LOL, i'm lost. I think I need the htlm think put in the banner so if someone was to click on it you will end up on www.sarasotakoi.com
I need it for advertising on other forums and for my signatures. I will also be adding a link section to my website with your website in there along with AP

Any additional text can be dropped in...did this on my lunch break.
Also, font can be changed.

Joyce · « **Reply #22 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:15:28 AM »

Font Changed....

Rick · « **Reply #23 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:19:55 AM »

That one is also great =o

Joyce · « **Reply #24 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:23:14 AM »

If you have a photo of your favorite koi, I can replace the koi that I used. (or find one that you like)
I can also add more koi. And more color. But it may get too busy, and that makes it hard to read.
Simple = Classy. Not to mention, easy to read.

Rick · « **Reply #25 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:53:55 AM »

It looks great this way! I love them both and will be asking my Father to pick the best one. It will be on my webpage along with magazines...
Joyce, do you have a website link I could put on my website?

Joyce · « **Reply #26 on:** February 23, 2009, 12:44:21 PM »

Here are links to see the logos better since this forum 'crunches' them which makes them look fuzzy and distorted.

I don't have a personal website yet, but it's under construction.
For now you can use this one....where I work during the day.

I like the first best.

more than a few words of script are harder to read.
The face in the first is "Papyrus."
Good job Joyce!

Joyce · « **Reply #28 on:** February 23, 2009, 01:08:08 PM »

Jerry, it's hard to read because the software for this forum crunches the art to a default size, or whatever Sean has it set at.

Click on the direct links to my online photo album and it is much clearer,
and here on my computer there is no distortion or pixellation.

Joyce · « **Reply #29 on:** February 23, 2009, 01:40:17 PM »

Here's another, no script used...
